Cracking Crows
Don't let the crows peck fear into the heart
the "murder" will offer a bouquet and a smile
but they're nothing but the barbs on a bribe
they'll even share a branch and drop of rye
talk sweetly-as long as you sing in their choir
but go out of tune-they'll remove your tongue
pluck your eyes like berries in the cold sun
put a crown of thorny lies around your head
After your last free breath, they'll caw you dead.
I plead you to turn the other cheek
but follow through with a baseball bat
and crack their dirty feathered heads.
